The rules of using DOT Intel.

You can:

• Use the Service for legitimate insurance, underwriting, freight, recruiting, sales, compliance, or operational research purposes.
• Download unlocked records for use inside your CRM, AMS, or other internal systems.
• Share insights derived from the Service with colleagues, clients, and partners.
• Contact carriers / agencies surfaced via the directory for legitimate business purposes.

You can't:

• Resell DOT Intel data, screenshots, or derived insights to third parties as their primary work product.
• Scrape, crawl, or auto-extract the platform's UI; we publish structured exports for legitimate bulk use cases.
• Use contact information from the directory for unsolicited spam, harassment, or any non-business purpose.
• Reverse-engineer the platform, attempt to access other users' data, or interfere with the Service's operation.
• Use the Service to facilitate illegal activity, discrimination, or decisions that violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) or similar laws.

FMCSA-sourced data is public, not curated by us. DOT Intel surfaces data from the FMCSA SAFER + SMS + L&I + Census systems. We ingest this data on a published cadence (see /methodology); FMCSA owns the source. Errors in source data flow through to our surface. If you find an inaccuracy that affects you, report it to FMCSA — we don't edit federal records.

Risk scores and percentiles are not federal safety ratings. The numbers DOT Intel displays are calculated indicators built from public inputs. They are not an FMCSA determination, not an insurability decision, and not a substitute for underwriting judgment. Don't make hiring, firing, contracting, or coverage decisions on our score alone. Read /methodology for the full disclosure.

FCRA is not in scope.DOT Intel is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Don't use it for consumer credit, employment, or insurance decisions about individuals.

No quote, binder, or coverage guarantee. Pricing analysis and appetite scoring on the platform are illustrative. Binding decisions belong to the carrier and underwriter.

You own your data. Whatever you upload, type, or generate via the Service (saved lists, watchlists, notes, exports) is yours. We need a license to host and serve it back to you, but we claim no ownership.

We own the platform.The Service's code, UI, design, methodology engines, and aggregated insights are owned by Seven16 Group. Don't copy them.

Public data is public. FMCSA data we surface remains public domain; you can use it for any lawful purpose. The format we present it in, our derived scoring, and our search interfaces are ours.

The Service is provided as-is, without warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non- infringement. We don't guarantee uptime or that data is error-free.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Seven16 Group's total liability for any claim arising from your use of the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or $100, whichever is greater. We're not liable for indirect, consequential, or punitive damages.

You indemnify us against claims arising from your misuse of the Service or your violation of these Terms.

We may update these Terms. If we make material changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top and email everyone with an active account at least 14 days in advance. Continued use after the effective date = acceptance. If you don't accept, close your account before the change date.
